Zel Technologies reviews

I am sorry you feel this way about the company and our contract, but I would like to clarify some things with you about your complaints. I am disappointed that you feel as though we are lying to our employees and that we do not look out for their best interests. As outlined below, we have taken great strides to make positive changes for the workforce. Communication is a two way street. In order to fix issues, we need to know that they exist. We always recommend using your chain to push up those issues, but if for some reason you do not feel comfortable doing so, I always welcome any employee to come by the office to speak about their concerns. Please contact me to set up a meeting if you wish. If you have identified employees that are detrimental to the mission, please bring that up your chain or directly to me. The mission we support is extremely important and is a no fail mission, and should be incentive in itself to work hard to save the lives of deployed troops. Regarding benefits, the company has made drastic improvements over the past few years. Most recently, we increased our 401K matching contribution and changed the plan to incorporate 100% vesting day one. This was changed at the beginning of this year due to employee feedback. Last year, we drastically cut the cost of our medical benefits and increased coverage options. Again, this was due to employee feedback. The same year, we increased our starting PTO accrual amounts. A new employee with Zel Technologies earns more then the average PTO accrual than many other contract companies. If you add in your federal holidays, you earn 27 days off through the year. After your first year of employment, you gain additional PTO hours as well. In the past 2 weeks alone, we have provided salary increases to four deserving employees so I am not sure how we refuse to reward high performers. In addition, the entire workforce received a raise just three months ago. I would also like to point out our incentives that we have for employees. We constantly award SPOT awards, and we have quarterly and annual contractor awards as well. If you do not feel that you are getting the recognition you deserve, please communicate with your direct supervisor to highlight your achievements. As you are aware, the mission is very busy and your direct supervisor may not always be working directly next to you. They may be unaware of all of your accomplishments because of this. I definitely do care about our workforce, as I was once in your shoes. I understand the stresses that go along with the mission and shift work, but I also understand the gratification received from knowing you are directly making a difference and saving lives of our troops deployed. Again, if you would like to meet in person, please do not hesitate to reach out. Thank you, Colleen Robinson Program Manager (850) 613-6721 colleen.robinson@zeltech.com
